Atlético Madrid has completed the signing of Italian forward Giacomo Raspadori from Napoli in a deal worth €26 million, Softfootball reports.
The transfer was confirmed on Monday, ending weeks of speculation over the 25-year-old’s future, who has been heavily linked to the Spanish side.
As Softfootball had earlier reported, the deal between Atletico and Napoli over Raspadori was almost done, with both clubs agreeing on the fee with Medicals set for today, which is Monday.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Raspadori’s deal was confirmed with the former Napoli player completing his medicals in Spain.
Fabrizio wrote on his X handle as this:
“Official, confirmed. Giacomo Raspadori signs in at Atlético Madrid for a €26m package deal from Napoli.”
Raspadori joined the Spanish side after three seasons in Naples, where he won the Serie A title in 2023 alongside Victor Osimhen and featured regularly in domestic and European competitions.
Raspadori can be deployed as an attacking midfielder, and even as a winger in a 4–2 3–1 formation. He has also been deployed as a false 9 on occasion under Italy manager Luciano Spalletti. He often drops deep to create space for the late runs of his midfield teammates.
During his time at Napoli, the Italian international made 109 appearances in all competitions, scoring 18 goals and providing 10 assists.
